America Das Mitternachtige Nach Der Zeichnung Des ... Delisle
|
An uncommon and most unusual engraving - a German copy of De L'Isle's influential map of all North America accompanied by two detailed scenes (at one side and engraved at right angles to the map) showing an Aztec Temple and the meeting of Cortes and Montezuma. The title on a large masonry plaque appears in the upper left corner and the map itself shows a peninsular California, detail of the Great Lakes and also names a number of Indian tribes. Attractive hand colour.
